Born in 1997, Pistol Grip arose from the depths of the Los Angeles underground scene, as an answer to all the Ska and Pop bands that were saturating the underground and calling themselves "punk". Influenced by the likes of The Clash, Stiff Little Fingers, Sham 69, Bad Religion, and the Ramones, Pistol Grip is a mixture of the U.K. and L.A. styles of punk fused with anti-religious and quasi-political lyrics. Nothing preachy or politically correct, just raw, in-your-face street poetry. They are steadily building a strong following while showing the masses of our deluded pop-culture that the roots of "Punk Rock" started before they were probably even born. Now available on colored vinyl.
